Lisa Xiao is an athlete, musician and mathematician. She loves to run X-Country and play volleyball both competitively and leisurely. Although she is most talented at the flute, she can also play the piano and the trumpet. She is quadrilingual; able to speak French and fluent Cantonese, Mandarin and English. She enjoys listening to the radio in her free time.
Zarin Tasnim is an artist and an avid reader. She is a Korea enthusiast; one day she plans to visit Korea. She enjoys listening to Korean music and her favourite band is Big Bang. She speaks fluent Bengali and is learning Korean. In her free time, she enjoys reading fanfiction and watching dramas and anime.
Tasfia Tasneem is a math major who loves to go out with friends. She loves art and food. She plans to continue learning as she grows, whether it’s from an educational establishment or simply another person. Her motto is “never stop”.
Pearl Leung loves to draw, read and write. She has written a number of original stories and poems, and has also written fanfiction for certain manga fandoms. She strives to complete and publish one of her stories one day. In her free time, she runs X-Country. She speaks Chinese, French, fluent English, and is in the midst of learning Japanese. One day, she plans to travel to Hokkaido, Japan.
Shreya Savanur is very musical. Her favourite singers are Drake and Eminem; and she is a singer herself. She loves to play sports like basketball, tennis and soccer in her free time. She is often described as “fun” and “outgoing” by her friends.
The authors of this book are currently studying at Princeton University, New Jersey. Xiao is an aspiring attorney; Tasnim hopes to become a pediatrician; Tasneem aims to become an architect; Savanur dreams to be a dentist someday; and Leung is an English major. They all attended Victoria Park Collegiate Institute in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and took the same Computer Science course. Because they understand that this subject can be difficult, they have decided to write a series of books about Turing control structures. Their goal is to help Computer Science students in their studies and to encourage them to persevere.
The other books in the Tutoring Turing series are Tutoring Turing: Sequence and Tutoring Turing: Repetition.
I'm back with the (almost) final draft of the About the Authors page! Shreya must add more information to her blurb! Otherwise, please read it over. I have taken all the suggestions into consideration. :)
Somehow, the word count has increased. It is now 363 words. Huh.

I've finished writing the About the Authors page! I excluded the parts about datatypes, if statements, and case statements because this page will be at the end of the book and all of that will be explained either near the beginning of the book or as the main content.
Unfortunately, Tasfia and Zarin's blurbs are relatively short. You guys could edit in some more information, if you'd like. I excluded the part about us still being in school because this is a professional manual; people would expect us to be in uni, at least. I think. If you would like to add that part in, simply say so. :)
Without further ado, here is the rough draft of the About the Authors page (273 words).

Zarin Tasnim is an artist and an avid reader. She is a Korea enthusiast, and one day she would love to visit Korea. In her free time, she enjoys watching dramas and anime. She speaks fluent Bengali and can speak basic Korean. Her dream is to one day become a pediatrician to help all the sick kids recover and bring peace and justice to the world.
Tasfia Tasneem is an outgoing girl with a simple life. If she is not out with friends or exploring the great outdoors she is hard at work. She loves art and loves to eat. Her goal in life is to never stop growing, her motto in life is "never grow up".

Because they understand that this subject can be difficult, they have decided to write a series of books about the control structures in Turing. Their goal is to help Computer Science students in their studies and encourage them to persevere. They went to high school together at Victoria Park Collegiate Institute in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The other books in the Tutoring Turing series are Tutoring Turing: Sequence and Tutoring Turing: Repetition.
I added and changed some stuff around. Take a look at the red writing. It is kind of repetitive. See if any one of you can change/add some info. Most importantly, TASFIA, please add some more info to your blurb. Others can ofc add more if they wish. I grouped the careers together at the bottom. You are welcome to change it if you like.
